This class is a requirement for me, and prior to this class I took MAT210. Easy class, no homework, only take home quizzes and tests. He laughs at his own jokes which aren't funny, class is very boring.

He's quite the character! He cracks me up, even at 7:40; he'll just say random stuff. "Man, I think i slept wrong, my neck is killin' me" or just random things...like the names and scenarios he creates in his problems. 1st time he taught the subject and i think over all it was a success...Really nice guy...Recommended!

He's coo, make sure you go to class, lessons are easy. Just study and put equations in your calc before tests.

I hate math but this class (college math) was very simple. Dave is great at explaining things; he writes examples slowly so it's easy to write down all of the lecture notes. tests are very easy.

This is, to date, the easiest class I have ever taken in college. Dave is great because he writes notes on the chalkboard, so you have time to write down everything he does. The homework ("take home quizzes") are carbon copies of the notes, and the test are even easier. If you just need to get college math out of the way, take it with Dave.

Nice guy. Very clear teacher method, and class structure. You don't need a book, his daily notes covers all his material. If you need to get math out of the way he is a good choice.

best math teacher ever!! He is really cute too!!

Heckman is a solid teacher.

He is a good teacher. It is a very solid class. Attend, listen to the lecture, and you should have no problem passing. No book needed. He covers everything you'll need for the quizzes and tests.

Great teacher. Explains everything very well. Always willing to help.

Enjoyed his class. Great teaching style, and not bad to look at, either. LOL

I love professor Heckman, he is nice and funny, and so attractive!! He says the dumbest jokes, but they are hilarious. If he wasn't the way he was then math class would be deadly. He's a really good teacher too, he explains the examples well and writes neatly so its easy to take notes. Good teacher, overall good experience in his class.

Prof. Heckman is an awesome teacher! He speaks in a very clear way, easy to understand, and writes out the lecture in a way that is very easy to follow. As long as you do the homework and attend class you should do fine! He's pretty cute too, and unlike some people who have rated him, I think his jokes are adorable!

Best teacher ever! He is sooooo freakin' hilarious! I hated math before I went into this class, now it is my favorite subject. He is defiantly a smart guy, he doesn't really teach out of the book at all, just his head. Take this class, you'll love him, and make sure to sit right up front or you'll miss a lot. Take good notes!

The worst teacher I've ever had. He moves the class slowly and tends to take a strange approach to his lessons. He takes the longest ways possible to do a simple question. He thinks he's funny, while telling random stories and brings his personal life to class way to often.

Great teacher and very easy to understand. Tells really bad, yet highly amusing jokes. My only concern is that he never stands up for himself when he has an obnoxious class, which is the only real hindrance to learning.

I am math retarded and this math is extremely easy. Just go to class, take the notes and do the quiz right after. The quizes are way harder than the tests (which means tests are very simple and straight forward) He's a nice guy and this MAT142 with Dave is the one to take if your not a math fan.

Let's face it: girls take this class because they read he's cute and it's an easy class. He's ok but his style could use some work. Perhaps he dresses plain to avoid being desired by his students. Anyway, VERY EASY CLASS. GO TO CLASS and you will be fine. Even if you hate math, you'll be fine :)

Tests are a little bit tricky but if you ace the take home quizzes, you can get a decent grade.

The subject was confusing, but the teacher was able to help where he could. He's funny and relates subjuects pretty well. You must go to class! everyone who failed did so because they weren't there to get the notes. Make sure you do all the quizzes and study them before the tests. The book is unnecessary.

I would definitely reccomend this professor. He always asks if there are any questions. Must attend class, do the plentiful hw and you should be fine. It seemed to me he cares how everyone does.

Nice funny guy. He's a good teacher. I went to class every day and took notes. Not a hard class, if he gives you a formula plug the numbers in and get the answer. it's not hard. homework was easy. he dropped 2 quiz's, gave us 15 homework points, and the final was INSANELY easy, a lot of extra credit. he opened all the homework back up.

Cool dude! Made crappy/annoying class tolerable. Easy online homework, one quiz per chapter, clear lectures that make homework a cakewalk. Good sense of humor. I'd recommend him to anyone that doesn't really dig math. Best math teacher I've EVER had.

Heckman is a pretty cool professor. He grades super fair and the homework is extremely easy. We only have the final left and I have 100% in the class. I suggest taking him over many of the other professors.

He's a pretty nice guy. The one thing that I didn't like was about his teaching method and how he basically has only one approach to the problem. He means well and if you try your best, you will surely do fine.

He was a really cool guy. There were only 3 tests all year-- the last one (which was the final) was the hardest but still manageable. Only on-line homework. He had a really dry sense of humor that was hilarious. If you have to take stats-you def. want to take it from him!

this class was really hard, and i even like math but Mr. Heckman was very helpful. his test are not to bad but they are like 35% of your grade so if you do bad on just one you are screwed. the homework is all online and really sucks. but over all it is not a bad class and Mr. heckman makes it a little easier

Pretty easy and laid back teacher. Made class fun by talking in different voices when no one would answer his questions. Only thing is I was on the verge of getting an A (89) and he wouldn't let me do any extra work to bump me up :(

I do not like math! Prof. Heckman is a great teacher. One time after class he stayed 20 minutes trying to help me! I can easily understand him and he does answer questions adequately. I think one needs to have a good attitude going into class and be sure and do all the homework. All you have to do is try!

Although exams were a little difficult he is a great professor. Explained well and took the time to answer questions in class. As long as you study and do the webwork and practice problems, you'll do fine. Utilize office hours and tutor center. He is upfront about material and helpful.

Prof. Heckman is a straight to the point professor who gives a quick explanation of the concepts and works through various examples in his lectures. He does not do any proofs (take mat270 for proofs). Great professor if you took calc in Highschool and just need to review. His tests are straight forward multiple choice plug and chug style.

This guy is the definition of average. His lectures are funny and clear, but he also assigns the most homework of any MAT 210 prof. Much of his class depends on the amount of past math experience you have. His tests are hard. He is a very likable guy, and makes lectures fun, but requires lots of work.

EXTREMELY clear which is rare in math professors these days. Almost spoons feeds reviews prior to test dates if you show up early. As long as you show up the course shouldnt be too hard.

Dr. Heckman is a good professor. I found him to be a little confusing when I asked him questions, but that may have been my own ignorance. The quizzes are hard but don't affect your grade too much and the Exams I found to be particularly easy. Go to class and study and you shouldn't have too hard of time with the course. Would recommend

One of the best math teachers I have ever had. He is clear in his explanations and provides plenty of examples in class with varying levels of difficulty so you can grasp the information. His study guides for the tests are very helpful. As long as you go to class, it's pretty straightforward.

He is extremely thorough on guidelines. Since the course is half online, he doesn't do any of the teaching. Really, really nice though.

Great Teacher! Love his humour! Not as good as Christopher Heckman but better than nothing. The group quizzes are the best and the most effective teaching strategies that he uses. Test are a little hard but trust me if you study for it, you won't bang your head against the wall.

Easy class, kind of pointless to go to class on non-quiz days but you have to. I would highly recommend working ahead. All the classwork is online so you can do it at your own pace and can take two or three quizzes each class period. I finished in the middle of October doing this.

Great professor! Lets us have open-discussion quizzes! Come to lectures and study and you can get an A!

He was an amazing stats professor. As long as you come to class, complete and understand his practice exams (which are almost exactly like the actual exam) you will get an A. One of the best professors I have ever had.

Great course! I used Spring Break and worked ahead. Finished a 1 1/2 months before the end of the term. Great program and Heckman always responds to emails within 2 days (usually sooner.) If you have trouble the tutoring is very helpful. Would DEF take another math class from him. Especially since I hate math and expected to get a C. Loved it!

Heckman is a pretty good teacher. There are group/open note quizzes every so often and the online homework is really helpful. Don't buy the book-- I spent $90 and haven't used it once. There are study guides for the exams but no formula sheet. Never been to his office hours as they conflict with a class but I feel he'd be helpful if you went.

Professor Heckman is probably one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He gives group quizzes promoting collaborative effort and in my opinion, this is most helpful. Tests are easy if you take the time to study and homework is easy but can sometimes be time-consuming. If you ask a question, he is VERY clear in his responses. I recommend him!

Heckman is a GREAT teacher, dont listen to bad reviews. Calculus is a class thats hard for most people so you have to work hard for a good grade regardless. I was unhappy with my grades on the first two exams. With a lot of studying on my part and Heckman's help I aced the final and got an A in the class. He is helpful all you have to do is ask!

Relatively easy professor. Very good at explaining concepts relating to calculus, I personally had no issues with him

Heckman is a good professor, He explains concepts clearly and is always willing to help students. He gives group quizzes which make them easier to pass, his class is really passable if you pay attention and show up to class. He can be a little monotone but overall hes a good Calculus professor.

Great teacher. He mostly teaches with examples, which I really like. He really wants his students to succeed, but in order to do well in this class youre gonna have to put alot of work and practice outside of his class. His exams are VERY difficult.

He's a really good teacher. Expect weekly online homework on MyMathLab that you can do until you get 100% on each assignment, open note and partner quizzes after covering about 2-3 sections (11 Total), 3 tests with the third test being a non-cumulative final. To make it better, he also has plenty of cheesey jokes.

Good professor, hard class. He does what he can to help. Very nice and relatable.

Heckman is such a great professor! This was my first time taking Calculus and he made it fun and easy with plenty of jokes. His examples in class really do help for the homework and tests. NEED MATH LAB, do not buy textbook. Easily my favorite MAT teacher at ASU. MUST TAKE! Quizzes weekly but you can work with a group!

Great teacher, great guy, great friend. Reminds me of Johnny Depp.

good professor, gives really hard quizzes but they are group quizzes so it isn't that hard to do good on them and his exams aren't too bad if you study for them. Easy to understand and explains the concepts with a lot of examples. He can be a little monotone at times, but overall good professor.

Heckman teaches through examples so if that is not the right type of teaching for you, I wouldn't take him. All his pop quizzes are group work so they are pretty impossible to fail. He also, grades extremely nicely. He gives everyone at least 2 points for every quiz and exam. You have to really try not to do well in this class.

Heckman is a really fair professor. Easily the best math professor I have had at college. Definitely need to attend class and pay attention in order to do well. He has many pop quizzes but you can work with your neighbors and they're open note, which is the biggest appeal and helps more than you would think in learning the material. Good online hw.

His lectures are straight forward and if you ever need help his office hours help. If you pay attention every lecture, go to his office hours, and go to tutoring the class isn't too hard. It was my first time taking calculus and I feel his teaching methods were good and helpful. Definitely one of the better math teachers I've had at ASU.

He teaches through examples. He lightens up the lectures with dry humor, he's hilarious. You get out early frequently. GO TO EVERY CLASS, there are weekly group, open-note pop-quizzes. Don't buy the textbook. Pretty easy class if you pay attention and really try on the homework.

Dr. Heckman is a fair grader and his class is set up in a way that is very easy to pass. The online homework system allows as many attempts on a problem as you need so its a definite 100% in that category. Quizzes can be unfair occasionally but he drops the lowest two. Tests are fair and not too difficult. Overall a good calc professor.

Professor Heckman's class is a good choice if you are the type of student that pays attention in class, takes down notes and isn't shy to ask for help. He gives you a week to complete the homework. Quizzes are hard but he lets you work as a class. Exams are easy but each question is worth 5-10% so making mistakes will quickly drop your grade.

I think David Heckman is by far one of the best math professors at ASU. He is very clear about what is expected and his lessons are very easy to follow. I think he is hot and I also think he is really funny (if you like corny jokes)! Definitely would recommend him! Don't buy the book though.

Great professor. Difficult class but he makes it as easy as possible. Gives 10 pop quizzes throughout the semester so you cannot miss class. Teaches with examples, so if that is your kind of learning this class will be easy. Usually lets class out early. Exams are easier than the homework and quizzes. Would definitely recommend his class.

Great teacher. If you take notes in class and ask question you will be fine. Lectures match homework, homework matches quizzes and tests. He has light-hearted humor. He is a great teacher and goes easy on grading. I definitely recommend. He actually made me enjoy calculus (what?) for most of the semester.

Easiest math class I've taken. Every quiz is a pop quiz. All homework is online and can be repeated as many times as you want until you get 100%, and the exams are curved. Plus, he makes punny jokes all throughout lecture which makes it a lot more entertaining! As long as you show up and pay attention you'll be golden.

He was one of the best math teachers I've ever had and was super chill. He wants you to succeed in his class and will stay after to answer your questions. Super great guy and if you do the homework and take good notes for the open note, pop quizzes you will do great in his class.

He never tells you when the quiz is, but they are all group quizs. His lectures are clear and only assigns homework twice a week.

good teacher. He is always willing to help during class, after class, and in office hours. Gives you lots of examples so you know what to expect on the tests and homework and quizes

Dr. Heckman is a GREAT professor, but he teaches many, many lessons for ONE test. I highly recommend him if you have previously taken calculus. He is a funny, intelligent professor that give thorough examples.

Heckman is an amazing professor! He is funny and straightforward with his lessons. I aced all his exams. They were easy, as long as you attend the lectures and do the homework. He has an online class that links to his in-person class, so if you miss a lecture, he has online videos. HINT: USE HIS ONLINE WEBSITE, THEY HELPED ME PASS THE CLASS!

David is really nice and funny during the lecture. He's really clear while teaching as well. You can work in groups during quizzes and he's likely to drop some lowest grades. Exams are not hard as long as you do all the homework and review all the quizzes. He does take attendance though. I'd definitely take his class again if I have math.

He is an amazing teacher! All the quizzes are open note and we are also able to talk in small groups as well. His lectures are very clear and always seems to keep them on the lighter mood with puns and jokes here and there. Tests are easy if you review quizzes and do the homework. Easily one of my favorite teachers.

Professor Heckman is a great lecturer and he is very straight forward. He is a funny guy and he makes math a little bit interesting, even if you hate math. Calculus is really hard. There are 2 homework assignments a week and he gives random group quizzes. He only gives 3 tests and the final is not cumulative

Heckman's a great teacher, but the class itself is pretty difficult. To excel in this class make sure to do all the homework and sit next to smart people-because you can work with them during in class quizzes. The lesson videos he posts on his website are very helpful to watch before tests. Expect puns!

Pay attention during class, do the homework, study the quizzes! The "Pop" quizzes are a collaborative effort with the people sitting by you! Got an A+ with some work! Super funny guy!

hes amazing. his class is probably one of the few classes I enjoy going to. yes there are many quizzes but he lets you work in a team so there's no reason to not get an A on those. plus he looks like Chandler Bing from FRIENDS so that's a huge plus! would take this class again!

Calculus is a hard subject in general. If you do the homework and show up to class you'll be okay. Also sit next to the smart people because you can work together on the pop quizzes. The tests aren't cumulative.

YOU MUST GO TO CLASS IF YOU WANT TO PASS THIS COURSE. The material in itself is pretty challenging, but he definitely helps dumb it down so that it's easier to understand. I would definitely take another one of his classes again. Just pay attention in lecture and stay on top of your work. Homework and quizzes are total free points.

Cool guy. Math is never fun but I have to say I enjoyed this class. Heckman is a great professor, he explains everything and makes sure you understand everything. Homework on mymathlab, 13 in class group quizzes (he drops 3), and tests are usually okish. He hosts in class review sessions before every test. Take his class if you can.

He is a great professor and gives tests that are easier than the hardest questions on the homework. He really hates when students talk during lecture however and wants you to tell him if you are going to leave in the middle of lecture. Otherwise, an easy A and he tries to be funny.

Heckman is a great professor. He explains things very well and gives a bunch of examples with each lesson. As someone who struggles with math, I can say that I have never done as well in a math class as I am doing now. There is a homework assignment for each lesson but very doable. Weekly quizzes but you can work with the people around you.

Professor Heckman is a great teacher! I sat in the front because I wanted I'm not good at math and he helped so much! He even has an online website for students to ask questions and has lectures posted on his website too! There is a quiz after every 2 to 3 lessons but they are partner quizzes. There is a lot of hw but its not very time consuming!

He drops 3 of your lowest quizzes! Also he has like review sessions the class before the tests. He tries to be really puny and makes class interesting! His website contains all the main information if you don't understand the material covered in class. Has many reviews on his website with answers and will help if asked

Honestly just show up for this class, study a little bit for the exams, and stay on top of the homework and there is really no way you can't pass.

I've never taken calculus before and I was worried about my performance in this class. I really enjoy Heckman and I find his teaching methods to be efficient.

I kind of feared calculus, but when I got into Heckmans class, it was just another math class. People are either good at Stats or good at Calc, I found out I was good at calc. He makes the class easy by walking you though problems with examples. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW TRIG!!! His quizzes youll get 50%-100% on but they are harder than his tests.

I have taken calc one and two before so I had a relatively easy time with this class. If you haven't then it will some extra effort on your part because he assumes that many know the material already. But it is all doable. Tests are easier than the homework and the lectures. All lessons are online so it's easy to study. Super nice and jokes galore.

I was very nervous about taking Calc but Heckman made Calc extremely easy! His homework, quizzes, and reviews are harder than the exams so if you make sure to understand how to do all of those problems the exams will be extremely easy! He goes step by step in class with multiple examples so I highly recommend him!

The class isn't even calc 1. I took 1 and 2 before and this class was nothing. Mr. Heckman is very nice and he gives extra credit on the exams and sometimes on the quizzes. He is a great teacher I don't know why people say he's not. I literally went to class and studied for an hour each week and got an 101%.

This guy made me love math again which i never thought would never happen after taking calc in high school. He made calc 1 easy to understand and he's a funny dude. Exams are much easier than quizzes and homework. Hes also one of the nicest teachers. Im almost sad that this is the last required math course for me.

Really nice guy, boring class. He tried to get people to participate all the time and then we just sat in silence until someone offered an obligatory answer. Good professor and cares that you understand. There are pop quizzes like once a week but you get to work with anyone sitting around you. Tests are straight-forward, easy if you do the homework

Amazing professor that made me understand calc for the first time in my life. I had a horrible calc teacher in high school that overcomplicated things. Professor Heckman is great at explaining concepts and he answers questions without making you feel dumb. The exams are easier than the hw/quizzes and they're curved!

Math was never my subject and I thought this class was easy! There is a lot of homework but it 's simple. The quizzes were similar to the homeworks and some quiz questions would show up on the exams which you have to download a program and everything is proctored. I did not do well on the exams but several quizzes were dropped as well as homework.

I have struggled with math since elementary school, and failed the pre-req for this class twice. But this teacher is AMAZING. The way the class is structured keeps you on task. Take good notes and pay attention in class, the homework is easy points. The quizzes are hard, but you get to work with others. If you do the reviews, the tests are easy.

I had never taken calc before, and this class was nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be. He's super kind and funny and if you go to his office hours he'll help you with anything you don't understand. pay attention and do the homework and the reviews. tests are much easier than homework/quizzes, and the pop quizzes become pretty predictable

Heckman is great, he made calculus so easy for me after having the worst experience in high school. It's really just a glazing over of calc subjects so pretty straightforward. The quizzes were pretty hard but you got to work together, and the tests were so easy. Plus I loved that he had videos online. Do the homework and it'll come easily.

Heckman is funny and explains the material well. The pace is pretty slow and the homework and quizzes tend to be more difficult than the tests, so you are well prepared to take them. There isn't much homework, and quizzes can be done in groups. Many of the assignments are online, so you get feedback right away.

Did the whole semester in one month. Plenty of homework but thats all I used to help me on exams. All 3 exams are curved and no final. Very organized since day one. He will respond to emails even late at night. Also drops lowest grades. Allows multiple attempts on hw and quizzes. Taking another class with him next semester!

Professor Heckman is a great professor! I had his class for Calculus and he actually made me love math again. I wouldn't say the units he teaches are difficult and he really teaches you the "Why's" behind math concepts. He has a sense of humor and gives out quizzes randomly, usually on Fridays, make sure you do them.

Professor Heckman likes to simplify things and make them easier, so if you like that, he's the one for you! He makes corny jokes a lot, but overall is a cool guy. Sometimes the lectures leave out some questions you might need help on, but he usually covers everything. No textbook needed! He has online weekly HW problems, but they aren't too bad.

Heckman in my opinion was a very good math professor. He teaches through examples so if that is not how you learn I wouldn't take him. He gives a lot of pop quizzes but they are honestly a good grade booster because you are allowed to work with the people around you and use your notes. Just take good notes and pay attention and you will be fine.

Dr. Heckman was a prof who really did the most. Calc I has a lot of material, but he provided multiple resources like online lectures and quizzes that were difficult but you could talk to others around you. He drops three quizzes in the end, and the exams were much more straightforward, just like the examples in class. He was a very caring prof.

I'm awful at math and havent taken it in 3 years but Heckman was amazing. Expects previous knowledge (mostly trig). I had none and still did okay with just his practice material. The pop quizzes are HARD. Like, way harder than the exams (MCitten) but you get to use notes and neighbors. Even then they can be challenging but the exams are simple!

He has funny lectures and explains the material well. Makes class interesting and always challenges you to think about the problem. I am not great at math, but the instructor made calculus easy to learn.

Prof. Heckman is a good professor. His lectures are to the point and also his review videos are a lifesaver! Make sure you watch them. Pop quizzes probably one per week are given so you have to show up. Quizzes are way harder than the test but he allows you to work in groups for the quizzes. So sit next to smart people. Lots of hw but achieveable.

Prof Heckman is an amazing professor! He has jokes and is caring about his students. He def wants them to succeed and makes sure the exams are easy, if you studied and went through all his notes & quizzes. he does have pop quizzes but if you sit next to smart people, you will be fine since its group quizzes. my fav MATH prof (which is rare at ASU)

Professor Heckman is a very good lecturer and is always there to answer questions. The class is made up of homework's (he drops 3 lowest), pop quizzes (drops 2 lowest), and 3 tests. It is a challenging class but doable. He makes it easier to understand and drops a lot of assignments to boost grades.

Took him for calc and stats. His lectures are really boring, but math isn't the most interesting subject. He's nice and explains things well, gives LOTS of quizzes but lets you work with others (easy A's). His exams aren't bad at all, just study and you'll get A's. Overall a good choice, just buy a coffee before because you will get bored.

Heckman is a great professor. He really knows what he is talking about and has learned over the years how to relate it to his students. LOTS OF HW! He does provide videos online for every chapter which are very helpful. Fair grader. Calculus sucks, but he makes it not suck as bad.

Heckman made something as boring as calc seem interesting. He made lectures extremely understandable and funny. The pop quizzes are hard, but you get to work in groups and if you do the homework beforehand, they are usually easy A's. The tests are even easier because no calculators are allowed. I put in the work with hw and superquizzes to get an A

60% exam (3@20%), 15% superquizzes (3@5%, basically mandatory reviews on MyMathLab), 15% in-person quizzes (10 total, but can work in a group), and 10% homework (23 assignments). Nice dude, plenty of online resources, and makes his exams fairly easy, focusing on the concepts. Makes calc fairly easy to understand, i recommend him if you're nervous!

I am not someone who is good at math but I felt that this professor made it pretty simple to pass and be successful in this class. He is always open to questions about the material and gives quizzes once a week that he allows you to use your notes for. The homeworks help with understanding the material and his exams aren't tricky or difficult.

Heckman is a very good professor that makes calculus extremely easy to understand. The type of problems he does during lecture and the ones that are on your homework are the exact questions on the tests. Do the work and you should get an easy A.

One of my favorite professors. Such a nice guy, pop quizzes can be difficult but if you take good notes and sit next to smart people they're manageable. Exams are not hard, its easy to get close to a 100% on them. Homework is all done online, but you get unlimited tries for each question. Made calc straightforward and interesting, take him!

Heckman is an amazing professor and I would highly recommend to take him if you have a chance. The exams reflect the pop quizzes he gives in class. The homework has unlimited attempts.

Heckman for calc was amazing. He was straightforward in his lectures, and offered numerous examples. There were pop quizzes that got pretty difficult, but he allows you to work with the people next to you and often curves them, allowing for extra credit. If you go to lecture and do the homework, the exams are cake.

DAVE HECKMAN IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER. This man is a real big brain and knows so much about calculus. He is very good at explaining things and made lectures entertaining always. You could talk to the people around you during pop quizzes so they really were not that bad. Heckman is a true calculus icon, 10/10 would recommend even if you hate math

Really good guy! He will help you 100%. If you struggle with math, sit in the front of the class. I am not good at math and I thought I would fail, but I really hung in there and he helped me get to where I needed to be. Homework 2-3 times a week. Pop quizzes, 2 are dropped. 3 Exams: 2 in semester, 1 noncumulative during finals. :)

I took his class over summer and it was great. Concepts built on each other, his teaching was clear, he helped out on homework and made everything very manageable. Calculus in 5 weeks is not the easiest but he made it as painless as possible. He's funny and laid back, super nice guy.

I know the grade I got was not the best, but LISTEN! Calculus was hard, I struggled with it, and the ONLY reason I passed was because of this man. He has so many helpful videos online and his exams are MUCH easier than you would think. You can work w others on the quizzes and its pretty much a way to help boost your grade.

Im going to be honest, when I took this class I was not too fond of the professor because of his ratings. Let me tell you, hes NOT bad, the subject was hard but Prof Heckman was so helpful and provided a lot of resources to help us succeed in his class.

Professor Heckman is great at teaching! This semester was odd, but in class he was very specific with what he expected from students and always tried to make sure the class understood. His pre-class videos are a definite must, otherwise it's easy to get lost. Also, the pop quizzes double as attendance!

I love professor Heckman!! I had taken this course two years ago with a different professor and got a D. I am currently in his class and have an A! He is very helpful with answering questions and keeps the class light with fun jokes. Calculus is hard, if you dont put in the work you wont do well, but Heckman is an excellent professor and teacher.

I took him B session summer remote and honestly he's a great professor. Funny and interesting lectures, and no surprises on the tests. Be prepared to work though, Calc 2 is very tedious.

I really liked professor Heckman! He is funny and keeps us entertained in class and his in class examples are easy to follow. If I was struggling with a concept I could always watch the video on it from his website (highly recommend). He has lots of pop quizzes but his tests arent too hard. He doesnt really answer emails though.

He is the best! Super funny and cute. He added extra credit to our non-cumulative "final" exam and really helped during every class. About 3-4 pop quizzes per exam cycle, but he drops a few at the end of the semester. Held review sessions before every exam on his own time and showed he really cared. I'll miss him for sure!

Heckman was really funny! He has a website that has mini-lectures of all the material we go over, so if you're ever stuck on something it was super helpful to go on that website and review. He held review sessions for each class, and he made jokes a lot which was fun. He also was super nice on tests, never giving us problems that required calcs.

Heckman teaches everything you need to know. There are no surprises on his tests; lecture questions match up perfectly to the exam questions. There are pop quizzes but they're actually harder than the tests but tests are worth way more anymore. Heckman is super nice and understanding. Definitely would take again.

I actually don't have this professor, but I watch his videos for MAT251. My teacher (Zhang) doesn't do the best job. Instead of going to my class, I watch David Heckman's videos. I truly am passing this class because of the videos he makes. Even if you don't choose this professor, you should definitely keep in mind his resources :)

Like others, I haven't taken this professor, but I would. I watch his videos working through problems for MAT 265: Calculus for Engineers I. His explanations are clear and simple. He also draws a smiley face at the end of every video which makes the pain of studying calculus bearable.
